Any race track in the world

If you could have any race track in the world all to yourself for one day, which would you choose?


After that race this weekend, I'm going with the Mount Panorama Circuit

Circuit de la Sarthe, Spa Francorchamps, or Road America to drive. Circuit de Monaco to watch!

I wish that Riverside was still around...
I spent a lot of weekends there, and one weekend when the Riverside 500 was rained out, the race was stopped to be continued the following Sunday... our family was shown on 'Wide World of Sports' - dealing with it!!
We were there to watch a race!!

Hard to pick, there are a ton of good tracks out there. I'd love to drive the Ring once to see how similar it is to Forza 3 , LS for the same reason (always test-drove new cars/set-ups on that track). For pure speed, definitely talladega. One of the most iconic tracks on earth. Maybe Daytona, but I'd drive dega first.

Would depend on what I was driving. I'm thinking Circuit de la Sarthe would be great. If I ever get to be a really wealthy man, I'm gonna buy my way into racing at Le Mans.

Just watched the most recent Top Gear and they tested the P1 at SPA. Pretty incredible.

For currently existing tracks, I would choose Laguna Seca. For any track that ever existed, I would choose Meadowdale International Raceway in Illinois. We have a car meet there every year & we walk the old track thinking about the old glory days of racing.

The elevation changes are awesome. The right half the track is reasonably flat, the middle has a huge valley & the left side goes uphill.
